Jack the Fisherman seems to me the strong

are woven with mastery skill the elements
of the modern temperance reform, namely,
true Christianity, the need for righteous laws,
the necessity of woman's cooperation, and,
as a background, we have the awful curse
and warning of transmitted evil under the

endorse.

interest to all members of the Baptist denom-
nation of which the writer was prominent
clergyman, occupying in his day important

many illusions to persons and matters in
connection with his work, which are very in

the discussion of and the answering of the

duce commotion in the stomach, increasing
its activities though not the digestive pro-

pose ot removing the poison and warding of

for its relief, as shown by its irritation and
Inflammation, often followed by liberation.
Just to the extent that the vital forces are
detailed to remove the effects Of this poison,
the digestive power will be diminished. This
excitement may lead to the use Of more food,
not to be digested, since it inipairs the diges-
tive power. Soon, however, In consequence
of a partial paralysis of the nerves Of the

diminished nourishment OF the body. It's con-

LIQUOR Drinking in China.

Count Mickiewiez, who has lately returned
from an important business trip to China, in
an interview with representative OF the New
York Tribune is reported as saying that
among the better classes Of the Chinese peo-
pie the use of various kinds Of intoxicating
liquors'is almost unknown; that man who
drinks brandy there sis ostracised" is placed
wholly beyond the pale Of decent association;
that The might as well be dead" ''-nis. he
says. sis owing partly to general distrust
Of the reliability of persons under the infiuene
of liquor. They are looked upon as we re-
gard those subject to spells OF insanity" Then
the cost of liquor is so great in comparison
with the Chinaman's earnings that lone who
does buy it appears in the light Of a fool,
while the use Of it gives to the user reputa-
tion for insanity; and therefore the ma
tional sentiment is thoroughly against it."
He also adds that ''the sentiment is the same
as to opium with the better classes as in re-
gard to liquor. No self-respecting Chinaman
would smoke opium or use it in any form. !"
A few missionaries from among the Chinese
of the better class would find useful field Of

Jesus Himself,

One must be impressed with these emphatic
words, recorded by st. Luke. The travellers
were on their journey to Emmaua The his
tory informs us that it was Jesus Himself"
that drew near.
We are thankful that He is the same today.
Our earthly journey is often one Of disap-
pointment Doubts are suggested by the
enemy Of our souls; the hopeful signs, from
which we had taken such encouragement in
our work, are not always fulfilled to human
sight; thespritual blindness of our associates
walking at our side sometimes increases
our own embarrassment But our COMPANY
ion is "Jesus HIMSELF Only let US choose
to stfollow on" with Him, and very soon our
hearts will burn within us as He talks by
the way. Such love could not be thus en-
kindled by the mere memory Of what he Il
in history, or even what He has done for us
in the past. "Jesus Himselfn-a present,
personal Christ-is the travellers need. Con-
scious that such companion Is near, our
earthly journey no longer seems tedious be-
cause Of the great joy we have in such fellow
